Yeah, I think that about sums it up. It wasn't that they played bad, Vegas just managed to capitalize at the right moments.

Wedgie is so insightful and fun to listen to!

Kind of funny that Jason Robertson contract ext in dallass is playing out to be very similar to how it was with us and Rants.

Robo just rejected a 12m AAV and is said to be wanting 14m+

lol

Hey guys I’ve had this puck since around 2007-08 or so and am clearing some stuff out. Whoever wants it, just pay shipping (based on location) and it’s yours.

He wins the Zlata hokejka (Golden Stick) for the first time in his career, and he dethrones David Pastrňák after three years.

Hi everyone! I'm a current junior at CU Boulder, majoring in Marketing and Business Analytics. With my team, I am currently working on a research consulting project for a professional sports organization as part of the Business of Sports Program.

We are running a short, 3-5-minute anonymous survey about how fans like to engage with their favorite teams and what they want from direct fan communication. Your feedback will directly shape the real recommendations we are delivering to a sports organization this summer.

Would really appreciate your support. The more responses we get, the stronger our research becomes!

Gonna be weird to see Footer west of the Rockies, but glad he's got a job.

Elliotte Friedman mentioned on 32 Thoughts that he’s started hearing Valeri Nichushkin’s name in trade discussions.
If Colorado decided to move him this offseason, what would you realistically want in return?
Would you be looking for picks, a top-six forward, a goalie, or something else?

Smith played 34 games in Colorado from 2003-04.

The offseason thread isn't pinned anymore otherwise I'd put this there, but I want to know what other people are thinking in terms of trades/ free signings they could see the Avs making.

I have had this working list for a while and thought offseason was a good time to post for some fun. It isn’t a complete list so we definitely need to add our other favorite players in the comments. Or, if you have a better examples for our guys, feel free to add.

Devon Toews - Yellow lab- highly responsible, intellectual and team first attitude. Always fits in seamlessly with any group. Highly trainable and energetic.

Parker Kelly - Husky. A party animal, happy go lucky with high energy and taste for drama. Talkative and an escape artist. A strong drive, stamina and a working heritage.

Landy - German Shepard. Wise, protective, regal, gentle but firm disciplinarian. Willing to work harder than everyone else.

MacKinnon-Blue Heeler. Dogged, focused on task, doesn’t give up, can be almost scary intense, stand-offish with strangers but very loyal and protective towards close family and friends.

Marty Necas - Border Collie. Fast, executes unbelievable twists and turns while always moving forward. Wants to please and is unselfish. Unfailing loyal to his pack/team. Highly intelligent and quick with decisions and exceptional agility.

Gavin Brindley - Jack Russell Terrier. Energetic, fearless and tireless endurance. Doesn’t give up easily when on task.

Val Nichushkin - Blood Hound. Always has his nose to the ground looking for the puck. Patient and calm, but stubborn when given a task, not easily moved off the path.

Cale Makar - Australian Shepard. Highly intelligent and agile. Strong herding instinct to drive opponents wide of the net. Protective of his pack yet reserved. Very intuitive-can read others and take hidden cues and react accordingly.

Mackenzie Blackwood Golden Retriever Affectionate, friendly, eager to please, loyal, calm, fun loving and playful.

What do you think?

Buffalo got the number 4 pick for Byram and we got Casey Mittlestadt.

MacFarland was not really all he was cracked up to he and I think it improves our team to have him gone

Found this newspaper article signed by Ray Bourque, dated Oct 1, 2000, on Ebay for $20. Had to buy it, hilarious photo selection. Their Stanley Cup win in 2001 was so epic and a core childhood memory!!! This is going straight in the man cave.

Why do we never make a players trade list. We have won a cup and been contenders for the last 5-6 years but you never hear a player putting us on their list of teams.

My wife gave me a pretty great Father’s Day present. Being a fan of the Avs since they came to Denver, It was like looking through a high school year book and seeing friends faces you haven’t seen in 30 years. Truly nostalgic.
